Owl Book
I am trying to find a children's book, which I think is called 'the owl was late' can anyone help?
This was a children's book in the early 80's we cannot remember the author!
I think you might mean,
The Owl who was afraid of the Dark by Jill Tomlinson, brief synopsis below, (lifted from Amazon!)
The story is about a young barn owl called Plop, who has the same problem. The plot is divided into seven little chapters (read one per night until cured). Each one is a satisfying tale in which Plop learns something new about the dark each night: dark is exciting, dark is kind, dark is fun, dark is necessary, dark is fascinating, dark is wonderful ... and dark is beautiful. Plop isn't convinced immediately, but by the seventh night he's looking at the dark through new eyes!
